Wow, these are quite some strong and complicated cards for a 7 year old! You might throw Scroll Rack into the mix as well. Rings of Brighthearth would be another way to copy the activated ability of Mayael the Anima.

I also noticed some cool cards in your deck that I didn't know before: I might consider Zoologist, Call of the Wild and Game Preserve for myself.

I like the build. I've been wanting to do a build like this as well, because it plays like an old group-game-green deck I used to play, using one of my favorite enchantments...

...which, by the way, might be a good back-up for your commander, should she get locked up or kicked out, and would still let your deck function like you want it to. Its Call of the Wild. You could also run Call of the Wild-on-a-stick, Zoologist. Another similar but more group-hug option is Game Preserve. All will work a way similar to your commander.

Some good support enchantments to help you set up the deck are Sylvan Library and Mirri's Guile. If your commander isn't working fast enough for you, and you've got a handful of fatties that need to hit the board, some cards like Elvish Piper and Quicksilver Amulet can help you with that.

Again, I like your build here, and it looks like a lot of fun!

Nice build, looks like fun to play. Some cards you might look into just for the fun factor of playing them are Call of the Wild and Game Preserve. The Preserve is a bit more group-hug, but sometimes that works in your favor. You've got a lot of cards that are revealing the top card of your library anyways, so getting another creature on the board without casting it can be useful.

I don't know if you can get one or not, but as for lands, a Gaea's Cradle should definitely have a home in this deck, especially since you've got opportunities to abuse Palinchron and Great Whale with Sakashima the Impostor.

You've got some nice cards that take advantage of creatures being the top card of your library, so some library manipulation would be good. I think you might benefit from Sylvan Library, Mirri's Guile, and Soothsaying.

Anger might work better for you than Concordant Crossroads, but either way, to make room for it, I think I'd cut Hardened Scales. Yeah, you've got some creatures that do some nice things with counters, but I'm not sure its going to do that much more for you.

I really like cards like Lurking Predators, and other options like it are Call of the Wild, Zoologist, and to a lesser extent, Game Preserve. If you really wanted to stomp some heads, you'd use the Gaea's Cradle to activate Soothsaying's second ability, get some fatties on the top of your library, and then start bouncing your Palinchron to untap the Cradle to pay for Call of the Wild's ability, and pretty soon, you'll be drawing out the fatties in your library and really messing stuff up.

Cuts: Woodland Bellower - it seems and expensive critter to tutor for a mana-dork or Man-o'-War or something like that. Draining Whelk - not sure it fits well here. I can see how it could be useful, but if there are other options more useful for what you want the deck to do, it could be cut. Maybe that's the spot for Deadeye Navigator. Decimator of the Provinces - I like him, but I'm not sure he's necessary.

These are just my thoughts, so take them for what they are worth there. Remember, I'm recently back into Magic, so I'm relearning a lot, and there's a lot I still don't know about that I missed out on.

One more thing I'll add; with here, you've got access to the best creature tutors available: Worldly Tutor, Natural Order, Defense of the Heart, Survival of the Fittest, Pattern of Rebirth, etc. If you can find some slots to fit tutors into, it can really help to speed you up if you find the deck needing it.

I really like the build here. If I had access to all those sweet Eldrazi, I'd consider it. +1, and let me know how this plays out for you.

I hope all this helped!

Ok, from brainstorming in other forums about library tutoring, the idea of running combos with Soothsaying, Call of the Wild, Game Preserve, and Zoologist came to mind, along with mana combos of the likes of Palinchron, Deadeye Navigator, and a Gaea's Cradle out. With a good setup, I think this combo could run out just about every creature in the deck with Call of the Wild on the table. Problem is, is that really what this deck should do, or should that be an idea for a different deck?

In green, some fun creature tutors to build around are Call of the Wild, Game Preserve, and Zoologist. Pick a commander you can scry with, and in green you have options like Sylvan Library and Mirri's Guile to help set your library, as well. The Call and Zoologist would probably get targeted, but the Preserve is more group hug, and might stick around. If you run it with a green/blue commander, there would surely be blue spells to protect those cards, and bring out your fatties for all to see. Momir Vig, Simic Visionary would be a good one for those cards.
